gPROMS Solids, a new product developed by PSE in conjunction with Procter & Gamble, represents a step-change in the tools available for solids process design and operation.

This seminar, which includes hands-on sessions, illustrates how gPROMS Solids' integrated model-based engineering capabilities can address many of the challenges facing designers and operators of solids processes, to help achieve significant CAPEX and OPEX savings.

It includes topics such as:

• The challenges of designing solids processes and how these are addressed
• Fitting model parameters from experimental data
• Determining optimal recycle size
• Sizing of surge bins
• In general, increasing plant throughput

Crystallisers are complex units whose design and operation benefits significantly from the application of model-based engineering techniques.

Model-based engineering can be used to fast track development from laboratory data to full-scale industrial plant, to optimise key aspects of design and operation, or to troubleshoot poor performance.

This seminar, which includes hands-on sessions, describes the application of gPROMS Crystallisation to fundamental crystallisation challenges, including:

• Fitting of experimental data using high-fidelity crystallisation models
• Accurate characterisation of growth kinetics and other parameters
• Model-based scale-up
• Optimising cooling curves to minimise batch time.
